EhCacheCacheManager does not wrap runtime-registered caches with TransactionAwareCacheDecorator [SPR-11407] #16034

@spring-projects-issues

Description

@spring-projects-issues

Christoph Strobl opened SPR-11407 and commented

EhCacheManager fails to return a decorated Cache when requesting a Cache that has been added at runtime, for the first time, from the backing CacheManager. This causes values to be added to the cache in case the transaction is rolled back. Any subsequent operations will work fine off the second request EhCacheManager returns the properly decorated instance.

The test listed below reproduces the scenario.

  • testValuesShouldNotBeAddedToCacheWhenCacheRequestedForFirstTimeAndTransactionIsRolledBack fails as the values are added to the cache though they should not have been.
  • testValuesShouldNotBeAddedToCacheWhenCacheRequestedSeveralTimesAndTransactionIsRolledBack succeeds as the cache was requested one time before using it within the transaction.
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration
@Transactional
@TransactionConfiguration(transactionManager = "transactionManager")
public class TransactionalEhCacheManagerUnitTests {

  // some transactional service where caching is used somewhere
  private @Autowired FooService transactionalService;

  // spring cacheManager
  private @Autowired CacheManager cacheManager;

  // backing EhCacheManager used to add Cache at runtime and get cache statistics
  private @Autowired net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager ehCacheManager;

  @Configuration

    public PlatformTransactionManager transactionManager() throws SQLException {

      DataSourceTransactionManager txmgr = new DataSourceTransactionManager();
      txmgr.setDataSource(dataSource());
      txmgr.afterPropertiesSet();

      return txmgr;
    }

    @Bean
    public DataSource dataSource() throws SQLException {

      DataSource dataSourceMock = mock(DataSource.class);
      when(dataSourceMock.getConnection()).thenReturn(mock(Connection.class));

      return dataSourceMock;
    }

    @Bean
    public CacheManager cacheManager() {

      EhCacheCacheManager cacheManager = new EhCacheCacheManager();
      cacheManager.setCacheManager(ehCacheManager());
      cacheManager.setTransactionAware(true);

      return cacheManager;
    }

    @Bean
    public net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager ehCacheManager() {
      return net.sf.ehcache.CacheManager.newInstance();
    }

    @Bean
    public FooService fooService() {
      return new FooService();
    }

    @Bean
    public BarRepository barRepository() {
      return new BarRepository();
    }
  }

  @AfterTransaction
  public void after() {
    assertThat(ehCacheManager.getCache("bar").getStatistics().getSize(), equalTo(0L));
  }

  /**
   * If the {@link Cache} is added at runtime the cache manager should use {@link TransactionAwareCacheDecorator} to
   * decorate cache and use the transaction aware one for caching operations.
   */
  @Rollback(true)
  @Test
  public void testValuesShouldNotBeAddedToCacheWhenCacheRequestedForFirstTimeAndTransactionIsRolledBack() {

    ehCacheManager.addCache("bar");
    transactionalService.foo();
  }

  @Rollback(true)
  @Test
  public void testValuesShouldNotBeAddedToCacheWhenCacheRequestedSeveralTimesAndTransactionIsRolledBack() {

    ehCacheManager.addCache("bar");
    // get the cache explicitly one time so that the next call will get the decorated cache instance
    cacheManager.getCache("bar");

    transactionalService.foo();
  }

  static class FooService {

    private @Autowired BarRepository repo;

    @Transactional
    public String foo() {
      return "foo" + repo.bar();
    }
  }

  static class BarRepository {

    @Cacheable("bar")
    public String bar() {
      return "bar";
    }

  }
}

The same issue should exist with JCacheManager.
